It begins with a [[UNSC]] [[Warthog]] convoy moving to [[Voi]], its objective to punch through the [[Covenant]] [[Anti-Aircraft Battery|Anti-Aircraft defenses]] that surround the ''supposed'' [[The Portal|Ark]] and allow [[Lord Hood]]'s small fleet of ships passage to the [[Prophet of Truth]]'s fleet in order to kill Truth and stop the firing of the [[Halo Array|Halo rings]]. [[UNSC Marine]] forces, led by [[John-117]], fight through several pitched skirmishes through the industrial zone of Voi. | It begins with a [[UNSC]] [[Warthog]] convoy moving to [[Voi]], its objective to punch through the [[Covenant]] [[Anti-Aircraft Battery|Anti-Aircraft defenses]] that surround the ''supposed'' [[The Portal|Ark]] and allow [[Lord Hood]]'s small fleet of ships passage to the [[Prophet of Truth]]'s fleet in order to kill Truth and stop the firing of the [[Halo Array|Halo rings]]. [[UNSC Marine]] forces, led by [[John-117]], fight through several pitched skirmishes through the industrial zone of Voi. | ||
After breaking through the industrial area, John-117 meets up with a group of approximately five [[Mongoose]] ATVs and commandeers one with a [[Marine]] riding 'pillion' using a M41 [[M41 SSR MAV/AW|Rocket Launcher]]. They immediately engage a squadron of [[Anti-Air Wraith]] tanks to secure a landing zone as [[Brute Chopper]]s and [[Ghost]]s attack. The Covenant are being continually reinforced by [[Phantom]]s. [[Hornet]]s and [[Banshee]]s fly above, vying for control of the skies. Although they manage to take the landing zone, the victory ends up being short-lived as a [[Scarab]] arrives to crush the UNSC forces. After John-117 destroys the massive walker, remaining UNSC forces prepare to push into a [[Brute]]-controlled warehouse. | After breaking through the industrial area, John-117 meets up with a group of approximately five [[Mongoose]] ATVs and commandeers one with a [[Marine]] riding 'pillion' using a M41 [[M41 SSR MAV/AW|Rocket Launcher]].

With reinforcements led by [[Thel 'Vadam]] and [[Sergeant Johnson]] along with [[Voi Factory Workers|volunteer civilians]] from a nearby factory, they push onwards, engaging nearly a dozen Brutes armed with [[Spiker]]s and [[Brute Shot]]s, a pair of [[Hunters]], and a [[Brute Chieftain]] wielding a [[Gravity Hammer]]. They finally press on to the [[Anti-Aircraft Battery]], engaging a small Covenant force defending it, including a [[War Chieftain]]. Eventually, they succeeded in destroying the gun, enabling three [[UNSC Frigate]]s to attack [[Dreadnought|Truth's ship]]. | With reinforcements led by [[Thel 'Vadam]] and [[Sergeant Johnson]] along with [[Voi Factory Workers|volunteer civilians]] from a nearby factory, they push onwards, engaging nearly a dozen Brutes armed with [[Spiker]]s and [[Brute Shot]]s, a pair of [[Hunters]], and a [[Brute Chieftain]] wielding a [[Gravity Hammer]].

*The [[Banshees]] at the anti-air defense gun fly around for no reason. They can be shot down for some points. But sometimes one or two will shoot at the player for a second. If one manages to catch one in a Power Drain, or use a [[Plasma Pistol]] on one of them, they can be boarded and the player can fly around the place. The player will, however, die if they pass beyond the map borders. | *The [[Banshees]] at the anti-air defense gun fly around for no reason. They can be shot down for some points.
